Should i be concerned about open cuts in bolivia?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: You can get an infection in any country. Good wound care and cover your wound until it heals. Clean it with hydrogen peroxide 2 times a day if you can and cover with bandaids. If it is deep, you need to make sure your tetanus is up to date.
